Fly-time is coming on apace, and the
over-carcful housewife is dwelling in dark
cned rooms and whisking with her apron
at the net door as she holds it open about
two inches to hold inverse with the book
agent or the lemon peddler.
Wilbcrt Itichman now buys pou TRY
every day in the week, except Saturdays,
and the poultry Iaisers find it n great CON
venience to be able to s'pick chickens on
any day that suits their convenience, in

ccives on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thurs

The agents of the Wheeler & Wilson
sewing machine, Sehurk & Pease, whose
territory IS the counties of Salem and Glou-
c%ostcr, are desirioris of locating in Woods
town as their permanent headquarters,
but rs yet nave been unable to find Il sin
gle u~noccupied place of business in the cen
trail part Of the town suitable for their
purpose. At present their headquarters
are at Mrs. Smith IIewitt's.
The papers are talking about the aged
horses OF Upper Pittsgrove. There is ore
of t~hirty-hyc summers, and another whose
locks arc dashed with the SHOWS of thirty
six winters. We have one that is forty
five years old and has long been on the re-
tired list. We havn't used him for twenty
years. lie is q chestnut (wood) horse.
IN. B.-This is a lie. We hayn't any
wood-horse, or any other kind OF n horse,
but We had to get this up TO down" the
Pittsgrove item with.
Unless individuals have an eye 10 their
own benefit we will be oVerrun with eater
pillars this year. There is an unusually
heavy ''crop' of them coming on and m
less they are disposed Of soon the pests will
exist all summer. The best way to get rid
of them is to burn the eggs as soon as they
are visible on trees and houses. Generally
the eggs are deposited ON leaves and a web
is drawn about them. 1t is not sufficient
to simply tear away this web. Burn the
eggs and The young caterpillars also. From
present indications there will be more Of
these dIsagrecable pests this year thanever.
An organized raid against them would be
n capital idea.
Israel r.. Vanaman seems to entertain
the idea that the MONITOR is "~insinuating''
something or other against him i'll what it
said last week by way of warning in
regard to contributions for the Fourth.
Therein he is mistaken. We insinuated
nothing, but said out what we had to say
anu Nlitb We GcGi1tQ biit SiiuliiDIl uSiIldlit-
ed. We know Of one or two instances in
which persons contributed on Mr.. Nana-
mans subscription paper without question.
knowing that he was 4 Good Templar, and
taking it for granted that he was working
in the interest Of the temperance celcb,a-
ton. We do not say that he so represent
cd himself, nor do we, nor did We, suppose
that he did so, but some whom he solicited
took it for granted, all the same. As TO
that part Of Mr.. Nanaman's letter to our
contemporary, the Register, defending the
s'so-called' Peoples celebration, We have
nothing to say. We reckon that part of
the matter is pretty generally understood,
and it don't make much difference what
name the celebration goes by. We do
know, however, that one of the solicitors
of funds for the 'so-called," gave as a rea-
son to one of our business men why he
ought to contribute, ''that they didn't in
tend that the id Prohibitionists should
run this town This may lie the senti-
mcnt of "the people," and it may not, as
it happens.
